The most constructive response to a student who scores 99% is to tell them they fell short. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If you find yourself agreeing, read on.
Alpha students complete their academic work in two hours daily using AI-driven, self-directed applications. There are no teachers, no lectures, no classroom-based subject instruction. This model frees you to focus on work that genuinely shifts outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; using live analytics to motivate students toward complete goal attainment; and developing the Guides who support your efforts.
A typical morning may involve a coaching conversation with a Guide, analyzing performance metrics to pinpoint where a student group is underperforming. By midday, you're delivering a structured workshop to students—executing a playbook exercise on feedback exchange. Afternoons are reserved for individualized motivation: engaging with students one-on-one, identifying their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant middle schooler. You maintain direct oversight of your own cohort, ensuring your coaching expertise remains grounded in live practice.
You've likely been the outlier in traditional education: excessively metrics-oriented, overly focused on outcomes, too ready to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the first environment where that approach is valued. You'll begin coaching other Guides immediately, and as you demonstrate scalable impact, your role in shaping campus-wide program standards expands.

What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating original content
- Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student performance data and Alpha's incentive architecture (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal attainment across your cohort
- Developing Guides through coaching focused on program adherence and standards enforcement, with each session yielding specific improvement directives
- Managing your own student cohort concurrently with Guide development responsibilities
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators on a weekly basis to identify performance gaps before they escalate
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing academic instruction or tutoring to students. Academic learning occurs through self-directed applications without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson plans. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creative innovation.
- Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Guides do not teach content, so your coaching centers on energy management, motivation techniques, and accountability practices.
- Accepting 99% when the standard is 100%. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your confidence in student capability.
- Serving as the emotional anchor others expect in traditional schools. Students receive genuine connection here, alongside honest assessment and meaningful accountability.
Key responsibilities
Execute Alpha's three core commitments for every student in your cohort: they develop enthusiasm for school, achieve learning velocity twice that of traditional classrooms, and acquire substantive life skills.
